    <p>There are two approaches on OS X:</p> <ol> <li><p>OS X defines application and user-level "application support" folders. These are in <code>/Library/Application Support</code> for system-wide and in <code>~/Library/Application Support/</code> for user-level support files. Application support folders are supposed to be named by the app's bundle identifier (e.g. com.company.app), but many just use the application name. In general, OS X uses this pattern (system-level in <code>/Library</code> and user-level in <code>~/Library</code> for application support, preferences, plugins, etc.). <code>/Library</code> is, by default read-only for non-administrator users. If your command line tool is run as root (or via <code>sudo</code>), then you could put your database file in <code>/Library/Application Support/your-app</code>. Of course, since you'll need to do this in an installer script (either traditional unix style or via an OS X installation package), you could modify the read-write permissions of your db file.</p></li> <li><p>As others have pointed out, OS X is a UNIX OS, so you can create <code>/var/lib</code> or any other folder to your liking. Many UNIX ports do this as it keeps things more consistent with other OSes that they support. If you do this, make sure to provide an unistaller script that removes the folders you add (assuming nothing else has been added to them by other apps/users/etc.!). Mac users generally frown on installers throwing crap all over the file system without an easy way to clean it up. Also, MacPorts, and Fink (two OSS package managers for OS X) use the <code>/opt</code> and <code>/sw</code> trees respectively. You probably don't want to mess with those trees as it could cause problems for users of these package managers. Of course, one of the best ways to go if you want to keep things UNIX-y is to package your app for MacPorts or Fink. MacPorts is of the BSD ports tree lineage and Fink is of the debian lineage. MacPorts is the Apple-sanctioned package manager, but both seem popular.</p></li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
